GERMAN SITUATION.
The accession cf Prince Frederick
William to the throne of tho German
Empire arouses grave apprehensions
»a to further continuance of tho peace
of Europe and the stability of present
outlines of the countries of that conti
nent. By a series of magnificent mili
tary victories the grand old Emperor
William gained the confidence of the
German people and united them into
a powerful empire, founded on mili
tary principles, but whose policy was
peace.even if it had to be maintained by
an immense standing army. Through
the able diplomacy and political acuta
ness of Prince Bismarck, Germany has
been for a quarter of a century, tho
most inlluoncial country of c intinen
tal Europe. A few months og > Em
peror William died at a ripe old ng',
mourned by his people and honored bt
the whole wru Id. At his death
Emperor Frederick ascended tin
throne, with the prospect cf but a few
months of life. A man of ability, de
voted to his people, his desires were
for peace and prosperity and Lapp!
ness of the Empire. On account of hie
alliance with tho royal family of Eng
laud, and a const quint disposition to
have cordial relations with that coun
try, he was often unjustly distrusted
by many of bis subjects. After a long
fight with death In which bravery ano
patient endurancs of suffering wen
oonspu uous he was gathered to his
fathers.
Prince Frederick William has as
cended the throne taking the title of
Wiilium II. He is devoted to Ihi
army, aud has so far proved himsel'
to be more of a warrior than a states
man. Hois believed to be rather potty
and fickle in his nature, wi h a puerile
hate for France and no liking for
England, Young and ambitious, im
petuous and warlike, he doubtless
wis' es to make a military fame for
himself and again lead the magnificent
armies of Germany to victory.
The situation in Europa is strained
therefore almost to tho point of break
ing. During the sickness of Frederick
mutters remained unchanged, excep!
on the part of Russia, which usad the
interval to prepare and strengthen
her path toward Indio. Now
tiro eyes of all Europe
turned on the young ruler
of Germany, who can avert
or precipitate almost universal
war at his will. If Bismarck con
tinues to live, his iron hand may yet
retain its grasp on tho situation and
keep it unchanged, but in the event cl
faisdeath, the gravest crisli may come
breaking the lines of the present map
of Europe. At present Austria and
Germany are bound together by treaty
in a strong alliance with the promised
assistance of Halyard tho tacit affi
ance of England, Opposed to them art
Fgance, who will never let an oppor
tunity pass to revenge ths loss of
Alsace end Lorraine, and Rstsia, who
is continually crowding toward the
Balkans, Bismarck's voice in tho
powerful alliance opposed to Franco
and Russia, has so far kept an anped
peace; but William II. can precipitate
war in a day by an unfriendly ac*
toward England or Italy or an tfftp
aive move toward France.
are
The talk by Mr. Georgo Watson of
Philadelphia on Bauirday evening to
the members of the Builders'Exchange
was exceedingly suggestive, A school
for apprentices will strike many as s
needless if not harmful novelty. But
^it 1* wall known lliat the New York
school, to which Mf>
reference, is turning out capable me
chanic« and in one-half the time that
it takes to teach an apprentice. The
school runs counter to the ancient and
deep-grounded prejudices of masters
and journeymen;' but this much is
certainly obvious that if the boys
learn the trade as well in the school as
under the master work man, it is a much
simpler and cheaper than the latter
method for their training. The ap
prentice is usnally very much
ia the way during the first
year of his apprenticeship, and during
the last two years or so be earns much
more than he is getting and the con
wcloasness that this is the case almost
invariably produces an injurious atti
tude on his part toward his master.
Wo cannot see why a bricklayer
should take raw apprentices any more
than an accountant should taka into
hia employment boys who have
no knowledge cf figures. The account
ant selects the brightest boy from the
neighboring school for his office, and
in the same way the brick-iay<r
should be enabled to choosenhe aptast
youth from some institution for indus
trial training.

If the election were bfo to those State!

take long to settle it; but unfortunately
for the country there are 153 elec
toral votes that wiU he counted
for Cleveland and Thurman without
even the semblanc s of an hooest election
being held, and they have only to look out
for the romalnisg 48 votes to Rive them the
requisite number to elect. The Republi

ful states of New York, Connecticut, New

elect their President. Any one of the candi

mass of the party. While each may have
his preference yet all the gentlemen men

It is safe to predict that the convention
will not nominate a ticket which is ex
pected to crawl with its fore legs and run
with its hied legs; a ticket which will kin
dle Rushing enthusiasm of its supporters

funotory aooep ance of its head. It is also
safe to predlc: that the Republican candi
date for Vice President will not supply the
gonfalon of the party with his handker
chief, or his old clothes, or any thing else
that is bis, and that the proceedings of the
first week after the nomination of the
ticket will not be n studied insult of the
Presidential candidate under the guise of
i,oiling affection for bis associate. In brief,
the Republican convention wilt not
hang out the red tlsg, nor announce an auc

•ately predicted that the convention will
not frame a platform which es printed In
some states will contain resolutions on
civil service and sundry other subjects but
is printed in other states will contain no

vnnliou does it will not adopt a thimble rig

an honest declaration of convictions, upon

Austria United by a Count's Acta.
A modern Cleopatra.
An immense sensation was caused
throughout Austria by the recent
suicide of Count Victor Karolyi. lie
married at the age of 24 Baroness Irma
Otr.y, a niec&of the Hungarian states
man of that name. About three years
after the birth of their third daughter,
Prince Victor began to be strangely
neglectful of bis beautiful wife, who
at length discovered that ha had be
come completely infatuated by her
elder sister, Sarolta.
The latter, who was and is still mar
ried to Count Abraham Oyurky, a
privy councilor and cbara'oarla in of
Emperor Francis Joseph, and by whom
she has three children, made no at
tempt to concoal the fact, either from
her husband or her sister, that she
fully reciprocated her brother-in law's
afTdction.
A strangely captivating women of
the Cleopatra type of beauty, was the
Countess Sarolta, who, after inducing
h»r lover to forsake his wife and child
ren for her sake and to travel with her
abroad, actually ended by persuading
him to openly take up bis residence
with her at his ancestral castle of
Csurgo, where they were boycotted by
all iheir neighbors and friends.
The utmost sympathy was expressed
on all sides for the Countess Victor
Karolyi and her daughters, who bad
been driven from their home to make
way for their wicked relatives. As
years rolled by, however, not even the
birth of several children could suffice
:o prevent Count Victor from brood
ing over the loss of every one of his
former friends and associates.
Toward the last ho sought to brace
his nerves by copious draughts of Rus
sian caravan tea, and had become ac
customed to drink as many as 30 or 40
cups a day. At length the climax
came, and on Easter Sunday he was
round dead, seated in an arm chair,
with a fowling piece between bis
knees, and the top of his head blown
completely elf. With the moot brazsn
effrontery Countess Sarolta refused to
leave the castle until positively ejected
from it by the law officers.
She hopes, however,to return thither
os its mistress, for Count Karolyi's
will which is dated five years ago, be
queathed all of his vast possessions in
eluding his casile, to his mistress and
his illegitimate children, while his
deserted wife and legitimate daughters
ire cut off with a paltry allowance of
$lu,030, to be paid by Countess Sarolta
to her eister Irma out of the revenues
of the estates. The Karolyi family
have begun a lawsuit to set aside this
will on tho ground that the Count Vic
tor was unduly influenced when he
signed it.
Oyurky, who is still alive, has con
tinued to maintain the most friendly
relations with his wife, and, if populai
re port is to bffieved, was a frequent
vi itor at Count Victor's castle.
Xulha on ilia Tariff. J
P. B. Liird, an eld stone cutter of
Syracuse, N. Y., gives the New York
Press tho following tariff talk :
"I was much interested in reading
your 'Tariff Talk' of yesterday in re
gard to protection and i;s effect on the
stone cutters. I am an old stone cut
ter and worked from 1851 to 18G1 as a
granite stone cutter, most of tho time
in Bistun.aud during a period of De
mocracy and free trade. The best
workman among us did not earn in a
year of that period more than fl. 50
per day. From tho time we got tho
tariff on monuments in 1801 to the
(lection of Grover Cleveland good
workmen were able to earn $4 per
day, a difference in our pay per year of
|750 in favor of protection.
"Up to 1861 tho number of men en
gaged in manufacturing monuments
for tho home trade did not exceed 300.
We were importing from Scot
land. In 1884 20,000 men were en
gaged in making our monuments, and
pauper Fcalchmen were keeping their
work at home.
"Up to 1881 I did not know of a sin
gle stonecutter who had been ab'e to
earn and pay for a home. In 1884 I
knew of hundreds who paid for their
homes with tho work of their hammer
and chisels. The tariff gave ua these
homes. The Miffs bill, indorsed
by the late convention, remove«
all the duty from monuments, which,
will injure the marble cutters mere

cutters in Italy do not earn more than
50 cents a day. I can show by a diary

1861.

may wither before I again vote my

Laboring men have been endeavoring
for years to prevent convict-made
goods from coming into competition
with our own work. Now, wül it not

Who Will the Democrats Put Up for
ernor of the State?
G<
A Democratic nomination in Missouri
has Usually been equivalent to an elec
tion. and the light now going on for the
gubernatorial nomination in the Démo
cratie party Is. therefore, more animated
than the campaign will be when both
parties have their tickets in the Cold.
Tho Republican party lias already nom
mated a ticket. The Democratic conven
tion is called for Atig. 22. ami there
are plenty of candidates. Four of them
are members of the present congress and
three of them are perennial candidates—
men who have been mentioned as possi
bilities for a number of years past. Only
one of them is quite fresh In the
field, and ho is Congressman Glover,
of St. Louis. The four crfngress
men who are regarded as among t lie
Democratic possibilities are A. M. Dock
ery, of Gallatin; William 11. Hutch, of
Hannibal; Martin L. ('lardy, of Farming
ton. and John M. Glover, of St. Louis.
Mr. Clardy might almost bo considered a
St. Louis candidate, as part of his district
is in that city. Mr. Hatch is the oldest of
the candidates in the field. He has been
gubernatorial possibility since 1872.
w as spoken of for this office long before
lie went to congress. Those who know
him only as the chairman of the agricult
ural committee of tho house would not
imagine that lie was educated for the bar
and is a practicing lawyer. Mr. Hatch is
a native of Kentucky, and was born in
1833 He was admitted to the bar in
1854. Four years later ho was elected
circuit attorney of the Sixteenth judicial
district of Missouri, and in 1800 lie was
re-elected to the position. He was a cap
tain in the Confederate army during Un
war. and at its close he was assistant
commissioner of exchange under the car
tel. Ho was made a member of congress
in 1880. ami lie has been i-e-olectod four
times since. He has made a record in the
house as chairman of tho committee on
agriculture, which has recently been con
ducting the rigorous Investigation into
the question of adulterated lard.

is chairman of tho committee on com
merce, one of the most important of the
liouso committees. Mr. Clardy has been
regarded as a possibility in tho guberna

district by a majority of 100 votes, after
ono of the hardest fought limits in tho
history of Missouri politics. He is a law
yer, aud his father was one of tho greatest
lawyers in Missouri some years ago. Mr.
Glover is of a combative nature, and since
